Owens hosting Arts Networking Fair & Symposium

From OWENS COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Owens Community College is hosting a Fine and Performing Arts Networking Fair and Symposium students, alumni and the community in a virtual and in-person format with more than 20 sessions to attend.

All sessions will be held virtually Tuesday, March 14 and Wednesday, March 15,. On Thursday, March 16, the  in-person sessions will take place at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, 7270 Biniker Drive, Perrysburg.

Attendees will be able to meet educators and professionals from the fields of graphic design, animation, photography, recording arts, broadcasting, theatre, music, music business and fine arts. 

“We have a lot of great educational opportunities at Owens in the classroom every semester but this event is when we bring career professionals together with students to talk about opportunities and future careers and the future of industry,” said Jeremy Meier, Chair of Fine and Performing Arts.

Each in-person session on Thursday, March 16 will last 45 minutes and allow 15 minutes between sessions for participants to network not only with each other, but with industry professionals as well. 

“Getting face-to-face opportunities for students to talk about industries around the region is invaluable. They are not only seeing ways to grow in the classroom, but also how to grow and start their careers in northwest Ohio,” Meier added.
